Help with width problem

[Princeton]

if you want to stick with the div/css approach add the closing </div> here:

<!-- paypal donations end -->
</table></div>
</td>
<td>
<!-- left side block end -->

you may also want to check the rest of your html code as you have many errors.
eg. missing quotes, alts attribute missing on images, meta tags content

can I just ask if your are aware that the paypal block is not the last one, but the "Useful Links" one is after the Paypal block. I just want to make sure as I would have thought the </div> would have to go after that last block. And the Paypal block is second to last

but I could be wrong, but I just want to confirm.

I think princeton is off one td, but I could be wrong. If your comments are correct, I believe where I placed the code is where you want it.

I can see why Prince said put it there, for some strange reason he has: <!-- Left Block Code End --> after the Paypal block.

So I'm asuming he thought that was the last block, so were he meant put it was the same place as you, after that </table>

Thanks for the help both. That was really annoying me and I have spent 5 hours on just that one problem before you fixed it for me.

LOL - I'll never make a coder

just make sure it's after the </table> not </td> as amy has it (could be a typo on her part)

it should read </table></div></td>

Gary,

in portal page, check your META description TAGS ... there should be no quotes->" within the description

look for (more than 1)

<img src="images/buttons/lastpost.gif" border=0" />

and replace it with

<img src="images/buttons/lastpost.gif" border="0" alt="" />

another problem in html:

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" alt="Click to make a donation" border="0"></a>

should be

 <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" alt="Click to make a donation" border="0" />

that should fix most of your html problems (not sure if it will fix all of them)

I'll check that as the Meta tag description is setup for both the homepage and the forumhome from the admin cp, and I know I did use quotes in the comments I entered about thew site. So I'll fix that.

<img src="images/buttons/lastpost.gif" border="0" alt="" />

If you mean the homepage were RSS latest threads posted are grabbed too, Well I didn't code that and here is the code used posted on vB. Not sure if you mean that causing the problem. As it's not really html code as you can see below.

<!-- Text Start -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?type=js"></script> 
<script language="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (x = 0; x < 30; x++)
{
document.writeln("<img class=\"inlineimg\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <span class=\"time\">[$vbphrase[posted_by]: "+threads[x].poster+"]</span><br />");
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- Text End -->

another problem in html:

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" alt="Click to make a donation" border="0"></a>

should be

 <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" alt="Click to make a donation" border="0" />

that should fix most of your html problems (not sure if it will fix all of them)

I take a look at that in the forumhome template

Thanks for that, I've fixed them all now, removed the quotes from the Admin CP in Meta Description wrapped around "ed2k links" and fixed all the other issues that were all in the forumhome template
